Windows on Mac

I recently downloaded Xgram bot as an .exe format and realized it doesn't open on my Mac. After some research I found a free program called Wine that will run Windows programs on your Mac. I'm really having trouble getting this set up. Anyone familiar with Wine that could help me out or know any other way I can install Xgram on my Mac?

VMWare Fusion works like charm, and it has an great advantage: you can work with the windows desktop as if is a new window on the mac.
Meaning that you are working on both platforms like you are only on mac.

I've used many different options over the years and the best two (by miles) are vmware and virtualbox, but if I ha d to choose it would be vmware - it's literally like taking over a pc with no lag (depending on your machine).

works like a charm...... haha... sometimes. It sucks when you're trying to program something needs to work in a windows environment, and it also sucks that it kills your performance......

I reccomend it over other services though.

When it comes down to it, sometimes it's just better to drop 200 bucks on a netbook.

So, if you run wine properly, I'll be able to run .exe files on my mac? No need for windows software??? that's badass (if that's correct?)

No. Wine will emulate what some windows software will need to be able to run on a Mac, it is not full blown windows and will not run pretty much any slightly obscure software on a Mac. Your best options would be to use bootcamp where you can run anything at almost the speed of a regular windows machine. If you only want to run some windows software occasionally you could run pretty much any VM software that can run full windows but it will normally be at quite a performance deficit and can be frustrating at times.

Another option would be to get a VPS that can run 24/7 without having to have your local machine on.
